1:1 BUSINESS-Starter kit - Mentoring Program

If you are at the cusp of becoming a Newborn/Baby Photographer, then this is your space. 


As someone who figured her way out the hard way, with a lot of trial and error, I always wished I had a cheat sheet that gave me the momentum and guidance to be successful. I'm still learning and I'm happy to share what I've learned along the way that will help 'shape' a career that you are passionate about. 


What this includes:

  • The current business scenario

  • How I got started, how you can, too.

  • Starter kit requirements (both gear and business-wise)

  • Client servicing - your true ambassadors

  • QnA of Maternity, Baby and Family Photography

  • Critique/Reviewing your work

  • Getting your work noticed out there.

  • Social Media - the best market place to invest your time in. Tips and know-hows of using the various platforms

  • Must-dos as a creative entrepreneur for a Photography Business

  • In-person mentoring will also include attending a live session with me.

P.s. This is purely for those interested in the business of becoming a Maternity, Newborn and Family Photographer.  This does not include teaching the basics of Photography.

INVESTMENT

INVESTMENT: Rs. 25,000 for 3 hours approximately (Via skype or in-person)
